The County Line
I Thought You Should Know
Why Is It Unanimous?
During the 2025 Mississippi legislative session, the legislature passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 531. SCR531 recognizes the creation of the Mississippi-Israel Joint Legislative Caucus with the specifically stated goal of strengthening political, economic, and cultural bonds between the state of Mississippi and the nation of Israel.
SCR531 was swiftly and unanimously ushered through both chambers with bipartisan support early in the 2025 legislative session. The Senate voted in favor by a count of 39-0 and the House voted in favor 113-0. Very few pieces of legislation pass with unanimous, bipartisan support.
SCR531 was passed on February 25, 2025.
It had become blatantly obvious American military aid was being used by Israeli forces to slaughter women and children in Gaza.
Hamas is responsible for killing at least 1,200 Israelis during the attack on October 7, 2023. In response, the state of Israel has killed at least 50,000 people in Gaza. Among those killed approximately 60% have been Palestinian women and children.
Even still, forging an alliance with Israel took priority over addressing the most pressing needs of Mississippians in the 2025 legislative session.
We have major socioeconomic problems that will take generations to address in Mississippi.
Of the 50 poorest counties in America, 10 are in Mississippi. Mississippi has the second highest statewide poverty rate in the nation. Jackson has the highest per capita homicide rate. Mississippi depends on federal tax dollars more so than any other state in the Union. 42% of Mississippi’s $31 billion budget stems from federal sources. 65% of these federal funds are earmarked for social welfare purposes.
These statistical nightmares indicate Mississippi should focus on strengthening herself from within.
We must implement statewide school consolidation reform and adopt universal school choice. We should fully eliminate the income tax in a more aggressive manner. We should make a concerted effort to improve Jackson and Meridian, two of our state’s most cherished and historical cities.
These are just a few examples of issues that are vital to improving Mississippi.
There is a laundry list of issues Mississippians prefer the state legislature to act on. But, forging an alliance with a foreign country responsible for murdering women and children is not on that list.
The voter initiative process was invalidated in 2021 and needs to be restored immediately.
No bills that would implement universal school choice were introduced in 2025.
Although the legislature did manage to pass a bill designed to fully eliminate the income tax, the tax on work will not be totally eliminated until 2040.
Within the 90-day 2025 legislative session, our educational future, political rights, nor budget could be agreed upon.
But one thing was made crystal clear early in the session: Israel deserved unanimous, unquestionable, and unwavering support from the Mississippi legislature.
As Mississippi politicians gather at the Neshoba County Fair this week, keep in mind that each of you took an oath to pursue what is in the best interest of Mississippi and America. Not a foreign country.
We, the people, must recognize that if we fail to hold our politicians accountable they will continue taking advantage of our political agency to satisfy their self interests.
This letter is to serve as a public condemnation of SCR531.
The people of Senate District 18 and House District 44 deserve a substantive explanation, from Senator Lane Taylor and Representative C. Scott Bounds, outlining why they support SCR531.
Sincerely,
Lee Carleton Smith
Neshoba County, Mississippi
July 2025
If we sit around waiting for the perfect moment to act, most of us will use the circumstances never being perfect as an excuse to never chase our dreams. It's way past time to take the muzzle off this dog. Let me off the leash so I can terrorize the park. Let my nuts hang so the bitches hear me bark Hustle like Pete Rose, making laughs like Earnhardt. We are the directors of our own play. We are the captains of our own ship. We are the promoters of our own brand. Life is a beach. Go build a castle in the sand. I waited too long to put my life into a song. It's 2025. I'm here to tell you about my wrongs.

Donald Trump, shit, get the fuck out my way. My voice is concrete, so my words are here to stay.
Speaker 1:Welcome back into the County Line. It's your host, lee Carl. So I want to jump right in to the content. I know it's been a while, but most of you that listen, y'all know what I'm doing. Most of you that listen, y'all know what I'm doing.
Speaker 1:This is to reach this, this episode. The purpose of it is to signify just how important this topic that I'm going to cover is, and there's no way that I can cover it all. I'm going to cover it on a state level and how it pertains to the people of Mississippi and Neshoba County and East Central Mississippi, because the reality of the situation is not being exposed to us via politicians, via media, traditional media outlets. All of the media outlets in our state are controlled and bought off, so they only give certain narratives. Now, for a while, I thought that this was only a left-wing issue, really up until, I'd say, middle to late last year did I really start recognizing the influence that a particular group of people has on both parties and on all of our media outlets, not just left-wing politics, not just left-wing media. They might even control the right side of the aisle more so than they do the left, and of course, I'm talking about Israel and the Jews.
Speaker 1:If you're not aware that America is waking up to the reality that the United States of America is occupied by Israel, then you have been sleeping under a fucking rock. Um, and if this is the first time you've heard this information, it's probably it's going to sound crazy to you because of the propaganda that we have been force-fed for our entire lives. For our entire lives, we have been told that we must support Israel, especially if we find ourselves to be a Christian. It's our Christian duty to support this foreign nation and that's just not a fact. But that's what we've been told, that's what we've been propagandized to believe by Jewish-run media, jewish-run politics.
Speaker 1:There's no way I could sit here and explain. It would take hours and hours and hours for me to explain how the United States of America is occupied by the state of Israel. I'm simply going to give you an example that's pertinent to us as Mississippians and Neshoba Countians and how this occupied state that we find ourselves in is impacting us on our level in a way that we understand. Because level in a way that we understand because it's very easy for us to look at. Say, mike johnson go to israel during the congressional recess, which is fucking bullshit. They never work, they never get anything done. It's just a perpetual kick the can down the road, past the political football back and forth between the democrats and the republicans. They're on the same team. Point being, it's very easy for us to see him, the Speaker of the House, a Republican from Louisiana, go to Israel, suck their dick, put his face on their wall whatever the fucking wall means, I don't know put their little gay hat on and show unfettered allegiance to a foreign country on national TV in front of our faces.
Speaker 1:Many people who have been propagandized through, say, a rural Baptist church to believe that that is right won't understand exactly what's going on. But on a local level it can become easier to question, because it doesn't make any sense, because on the one hand you could make the argument and it has been made that the United States is vital to the interests of Israel and vice versa. The fact of the matter is it's all a game, it's all a ruse. We've all been had. Okay, trump's in on it, trump's paid off by the Jews. That's why he's not releasing the Epstein files.
Speaker 1:But all of that can seem so far away on a national level when you bring it home and you zoom in and you drill down and you look at how that Israeli influence has impacted the state of Mississippi, the state of Mississippi's politics, the future of Mississippi, the past of Mississippi. Even going back to well, specifically going back to the civil rights movement, this Israeli influence, this Jewish influence, has been present ever since the civil rights movement in our politics in Mississippi movement in our politics in Mississippi. In 1964, when the Freedom Summer murders occurred, the two gentlemen that were killed that were supposedly white in Neshoba County were actually Jewish. The organizations that those and people like them worked for were predominantly funded and run by Jews. Now, were there some whites mixed in there that came down to help in Freedom Summer, to help register blacks to vote? Absolutely, more than half of the people involved were Jews and almost all of the funding that was behind civil rights organizations came from Jewish sources. Now, that's just an example to show you how long this influence has been in our neighborhood.
Speaker 1:I'm not saying what Edgar Ray and the KKK did was right, what Edgar Ray and the KKK did was right, but coming to understand how a foreign country has successfully has attempted to and successfully subverted and usurped our country and our people's political power, coming to understand that realization more vividly has led me to be able to put myself in the KKK and Edgar Ray Killen shoes better. So that's that's one example to just let you know that this influence didn't just pop up out of the blue last week, all right, at the at the turn of you know the mid, say mid 20th century 1950s pop up out of the blue last week, all right, at the turn of you know the mid, say mid 20th century 1950s, 1960s, mississippi had a segregationist political apparatus. We, our state, was run by white men who believed that whites and blacks should not co-mingle. Northern cities had this same exact setup when Europeans came to say New York City, new York City was segregated. New York City was segregated by European ethnos or race. So you had the Jews in a neighborhood, you had the Irish in a neighborhood, you had the Italians in a neighborhood. This didn't change until blacks from the rural South migrated to the north during the Great Migration, industrial Revolution, so forth and so on One of the largest mass migrations that ever occurred in human history Blacks from the rural south going into northern and midwestern cities, and there's a great podcast on this.
Speaker 1:It's called Martyr Made. There's an episode, a two-part series. I think it's a great podcast on this. It's called Martyr Made. There's an episode, a two-part series. I think it's a two-part series. It's called who's America, done by a gentleman by the name of Cooper. His first name escapes me. Regardless, it gives very good information on how the demographics of America have evolved over time, and the example of Mississippi and Alabama is very similar. As opposed to having a bunch of European ethnicities packed into a small concentrated place, we had people from two totally different continents who had never commingled ever before, and the white power structure in Mississippi saw that as needing to stay that way because their belief was incorrectly that when you co-mingle races and try to run a government suddenly all of a sudden, very rapidly, and it's forced upon both of those, both of those groups of people, whites and blacks that's not going to be a good situation long term. So this is to give you some background. This is not to tell you that I believe in white supremacy and I think that we should return to white supremacy and all of that. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just laying out the history of mississippi politics and what our politicians believed and how it has evolved from the civil rights movement.
Speaker 1:Who started the civil rights movement? Who funded it? Who orchestrated it? Who came down to the south? Um, it wasn't northern whites. It wasn't like, uh, our northern brethren were coming down here and being like all right, uh, rednecks in the south, the whites down here, y'all, just y'all just don't know how to do it, because they were doing the same thing up there. The jewish influence knew and they've done this throughout history. They knew that if they suddenly rapidly mixed the whites and the blacks in the South, because there was such a high concentration and still is of both races that it would not be good for the society as a whole long term, long term.
Speaker 1:The integration of the schools in the mid 70s went better than they thought the, the orchestrators of the civil rights movement, thought it was going to go. They thought that there would be initial mayhem. There wasn't. The mayhem came before on the, the sit-ins and the boycotts and everything. And keep in mind the the media has tailored the civil rights movement to paint the white Southerner as the devil. And just keep in mind Jews don't like whites, jews don't like blacks, based on their religion.
Speaker 1:So just keep in mind, having said all that, that before 1960, mississippi had a white supremacist viewpoint. At least their politicians did to keep the races separate to try to avoid chaos. I mean, look at Jackson Mississippi before and after integration. Look at Meridian Mississippi before and after integration. Look at Meridian Mississippi before and after integration. Now I'm not saying blacks are inherently incapable of governing, but in America, when a city has become majority black, it fails. It just does. Take me to a thriving black American city right now. You can't. That's not to say that I don't like black people Black people that know me y'all know how I roll. I keep it real White people too. So this has gone out. This type of mass migration and immigration of people and mixture of races has been a trait of Jewish influence throughout history. This is not new and I'll leave it up to you to go do your research and check that out for yourself. All right, so 1960, we had a white supremacist government? Let's fast forward to 2025. A white supremacist government? Let's fast forward to 2025. And let's see how closely that resembles a white supremacist government.
Speaker 1:Okay, tate Reeves is the governor of Mississippi. Tate Reeves this year stood alongside two Israeli consuls from the American-Israeli Political Action Caucus, or Committee, apac, meaning they pay politicians to construct and implement policy that is favorable to Israel. Politicians in Mississippi, a foreign country, is paying them to basically paint Israel in a positive light, which they should not be. They're a murderous, genocidal nation. All you have to do is go look at Gaza 300,000 to 400,000 people killed in response to a 1,200 people massacre by Hamas, which the leader of Israel knew was coming. He allowed his own people to get slaughtered and then responds by killing 300,000 people in Gaza, over 60% women and children. And our Mississippi politicians are supporting that nation openly, openly supporting this nation who, in 1960, mississippi's governor hated, and I now know why they hated him.
Speaker 1:I now understand the disdain for Jewish influence as I was growing up. We don't have Jews in Mississippi, not that I'm aware of, I mean I think there are like 1,000 in Jackson and that's the highest concentration of Jews in Mississippi. There's 140,000 people in Jackson, so that tells you how few we have in Mississippi. Now ask yourself, why do we have so few in Mississippi? Well, go back to the civil rights movement. The guys in the KKK understood what Jewish influence was trying to do to their society, based on historical behavior by Jewish influence.
Speaker 1:From that point forward, from the civil rights movement forward, they have altered and contorted the media in such a way to paint the white, southerner and white people in general, if you look at America's politics, as the devil. How many times have you heard white guilt, white privilege, white, this white? That it's because the Jews influence the media. The Jews don't like us. They know that we are their greatest threat. They have subverted and usurped the government of many nations throughout history and anytime someone points this fact out, they're called anti-Semitic, which is not true. You can criticize Israel and not be anti-Semitic. And if they call me anti-Semitic, fuck them, I don't care, I don't care.
Speaker 1:So we go from being a white supremacist nation in 19. I mean mean a white supremacist government in 1960 who disdains jews to tate reeves the name of the Mississippi Israeli Legislative Caucus. Unanimously for you, dumbasses, that means nobody dissented. Unanimously for you, dumbasses, that means nobody dissented. Nobody voted against this bill to form an allegiance and an alliance and a recognition of a relationship with the murderous and genocidal nation of Israel. So ask yourself, how the fuck did we go from Ross Barnett Jr in 1960, roundabout who says segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever to let's suck Israel's dick. And nobody dissent against forming a coalition with a nation who is responsible for not only subverting the United States but killing 300,000 innocent women and children. Go look at pictures of Gaza and ask yourself if you support that. Then go ask yourself if your legislator from your district voted to support that nation in February, and I can already tell you they fucking did. There's a bill. It's called SCR 531. This is the bill that was passed this past February.
Speaker 1:Okay, and keep in mind February 25th 2025, that's a year and a half after the attacks on the Hamas, attacks on Israel. It was very clear by this time what was going on. It was very clear by this time that Israel was starving children, that this was all an orchestrated ethnic cleansing operation by Israel. Okay, so I'm watching all this right and I stopped doing the podcast, and I think the last one I did was like two months after the the Hamas attacks, and so I've been watching this situation for almost two years. October to be two years and to see how it has evolved and to see um have to have been awakened to the blind allegiance and support for Israel from the state and local level in Mississippi is appalling. It's appalling.
Speaker 1:Okay, so I haven't been working all of 2025. I have not been doing anything. But whatever the fuck I want to, whatever the fuck I want to Mostly reading, writing, rapping and trying to get into law school, which I did, and I'll start next week. That's neither here nor there. Just gives you a rundown on the past couple months for me.
Speaker 1:So I've had the time to pay attention to all this shit and so once I started recognizing that we are an occupied nation, I mean it had become real obvious when Trump continued to insist on going into Iran and then it turned into bombing Iran, because we were all saying, like dude, what the fuck are you doing? We elected you to get us out of this bullshit, not to put us back in the motherfucking Middle East. We've already had hundreds, thousands of men and women in the United States. Armed Forces die in that hellhole over there For Israel, for Israel, and yet we're still sending them three to four billion dollars in military aid every single year. He ran on putting the epstein list out. Hadn't seen that shit yet.
Speaker 1:So once I started to connect the dots at the national level and recognize exactly what was going on, based off of our president's foolish behavior, who I supported and voted for all three times. But when he showed his support blatantly for Israel over Americans, fuck him. He got to go. He's a traitor and there's nothing. The only thing that Trump could do at this point to even make me think he has credibility or make me think he's a true player or a true actor in this game is release the Epstein files, full, clear, unredacted. But we all know they've already fucked those files up. We already know that they've altered those files. They've taken all of Trump's name. They've taken his name out of there, wherever it was. That's why they haven't released it, because they've been doctoring on it. That's what I believe anyway. So Trump's.
Speaker 1:Once I lost all faith in Trump. I was like, okay, well, now who's our beacon of hope, so to speak as a leader? I was like, well, let me go to Roger Wicker and Cindy Hyde-Smith, our senators. Roger Wicker comes to find out who is the head of the Senate Armed Services Committee. I think that's how you say it. He's a warmonger. All he wants to do is make fucking weapons and sell them, and he wants a war to keep going so he can sell those weapons. He is a creature of the military industrial complex. He wants to go to war anywhere, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter Particularly wherever Israel wants to go to war. And what I've learned is that's a historical trait of Mississippi conservatives the farther we get from the civil rights movement, the more pro-Israel our politicians become. That should tell you something. Pro-israel our politicians become. That should tell you something.
Speaker 1:Roger Wicker is one of the highest paid politicians in Congress by you guessed it Israel, aipac Seven. Some odd $750,000, some odd dollars went to Roger Wicker's campaign from Israel. I said damn. And so I started studying his policy and what he believes, what he votes on. He's a straight bitch, is what he is. And if you go, there's a video online of Roger Wicker. Just go type in Roger Wicker on Vladimir Putin and he says that Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. But he looks like he is shaking in his fucking boots when he says that. I want you to go watch that video. It's horrific. It's embarrassing for Mississippi. He's such a little bitch.
Speaker 1:And so then once I figured out that he's crooked, like really bad crooked, I was like, well, maybe Cindy Hyde is you know, maybe she's okay, maybe she can do something for us. Wrong Over $100,000 taken from APAC and she's got big ag in her pockets Like she's got big farm you pockets. She's got big farm. She's paid off just as much. She's sickening. She's sickening. They're both sickening. They both need to go reelected, I mean or ousted, when their reelection comes up.
Speaker 1:So now I've gone president, I've gone United States Senate. I was like, surely our house, surely, the closer I get to home and looking at these people, the support for Israel will become less. So I go to start looking at the House of Representatives. Michael Guest, third district where I'm from, took money from Israel Voted yesterday. He was the deciding vote to not pursue releasing the Epstein files in a committee. The deciding vote to not release the Epstein files. Fuck that guy.
Speaker 1:Okay, the rest of them Ezell, ezell down on the coast. You got Ezell on the coast. Trent Kelly, who's originally from Union Mississippi Military industrial complex whore. All he wants to do is build warship. Go look at Northeast Mississippi. Go look at the Columbus Golden Triangle. How many military contractors have either been there or have located there recently? That's his district. Is it all starting to make sense? We are building the military infrastructure that Israel needs to go fight their fucked up wars.
Speaker 1:Our tax dollars, our politicians, our politicians are being used to benefit the evil actions of a foreign nation. So, not only did President Donald Trump take $230 million from AIPAC, not only did Roger Wicker take $700,000, not only did Cindy Hyde-Smith take over $100,000, not only did all of our House representatives take over $20,000 from AIPAC, but our state legislature was like surely, surely, the homeboys, the guys in Jackson? They got us, they got us, they got us. They care about Mississippi, they care about America, and they may support Israel, but they care about Mississippi and America first. Wrong, wrong again. So of course, I whittle it down. I zone in on my quote-unquote representatives who I voted for Lane, taylor C. Scott Bounds. To be fair, lane was not in office when this vote was made on this state bill, but just the fact that he's a politician, he's guilty by association at this point. So, yeah, I find this bill SCR 531, passed on February 25th 2025. And on this bill, I'll just read you exactly what it says, not the bill itself, but just gives you a gist of what it is. Okay, and this is from a piece that I wrote and I'll read to you in full shortly.
Speaker 1:During the 2025 Mississippi legislative session, the legislature passed Senate concurrent resolution 531. Scr 531 recognizes the creation of the Mississippi-Israel Joint Legislative Caucus, with the specifically stated goal of strengthening political, economic and cultural bonds between the state of Mississippi and the nation of Israel. That's the intent of the bill. That's the intent of the bill. Scr 531 was swiftly and unanimously ushered through both chambers, with bipartisan support, early in the 2025 legislative session. Again, this is February 2025. The attacks on Israel happened October 2023. So by this time, it was very clear what was going on. The Senate voted in favor by get this a count of 39 to zero, and the House voted in favor 113 to you guessed it zero.
Speaker 1:Very few pieces of legislation pass with unanimous bipartisan support. Okay, so that's the gist of the bill. Let me light my little joint right here real quick. That's the gist of the bill, so I'm hoping you're putting this all together in your head. We, our politicians from Philadelphia, mississippi, are going to Jackson in representation of us, white and black people unanimously Republican Democrat, white and black, unanimously. That means no one voted against it White, black, republican, democrat nobody Nobody in the motherfucking legislature voted against it.
Speaker 1:Why, why? And I cannot get anybody to answer that question. That's in power. I cannot get anybody to answer that question, including the Neshoba Democrat. Now, I didn't ask the Neshoba Democrat why, but I asked them to run this piece I'm about to read you and they told me that I could pay $800 to get it in. I told Jim Prince. I said I can't swing that right now, hoss. He said okay, well, too bad. He didn't say too bad, but that's essentially what it amounted to.
Speaker 1:You know, every time I've called on Jim Prince and the show, but Democrat, it's been related to the school consolidation issue. Never, I've never, had a problem getting something run, getting something published, whether it be a letter to the editor, whether it be a guest column, which, prior to this, prior to trying to submit this Israel piece, I didn't even know that there was a difference in word count between a guest column and a letter to the editor. But see, I started getting all once I submitted the content, because I reached out to Jim and I was like, hey, this is what I got on my mind. I knew that I would have to be careful about. I knew I would have to walk certain lines to get it in the paper in the first place, because I recognize that Jim Prince and the Neshoba Democrat are part of the larger propaganda machine which is not going to publish anything anti-Israel. He doesn't want to piss off his consumers in Neshoba County because, in his words, israel is a complicated issue and a lot of people don't understand it. Israel is a complicated issue and a lot of people don't understand it, which I think is degrading and infantilizing of the people of Neshoba County. Because I think we have smart people and I think we have people that have common sense and they can make their minds up for themselves. They don't have to be force-fed certain propagandized information. Give them the fucking information and let them figure it out on their own, because they're capable of doing that. But apparently he's fallen victim to the stereotypes that the Jewish-influenced media has made about Southern whites throughout this period since the Civil Rights Movement. Apparently he has fallen victim to believing that shit. So, needless to say, he wouldn't run my piece.
Speaker 1:I wanted to run it in the fair times during the week of the fair, get the most eyes and ears on it, sell him more papers, because people would start talking about it. And I wanted to notify the public because our media is not doing it. And he proved my point, but that's why I wanted to do it, okay. Well, needless to say, he told me I could either pay $800 to get a half page, which I mean I got $800, but I didn't have to spend $800 to put in a couple of pieces about consolidating the schools. But you know that met the Republican talking points. So it was all good. I gave him free labor. Well, that won't be happening again. I can assure you that. Free labor and free product, you know, I mean I'd like to see the numbers on his papers, how they sold.
Speaker 1:Whenever I put something in there or made the news about the school consolidation, he ate that shit up. But no, no, if you're in the camp of you criticizing the Jews or Israel, we can't run that in the Shobah County. No sir, no sir, can't let that happen, can't bring up them, old ghosts. Well, they back, brother, they are back. So I was pissed at this point. It's like that's fucking bullshit. You run you. So I was pissed at this point. I was like that's fucking bullshit. You run you. And then I told him I was like, well, we didn't have these peculiarities and these guidelines, word counts and content regulation.
Speaker 1:Whenever I wanted to submit something about consolidating the schools, it was wide open, it was free. I could say whatever I wanted to. I didn't have to pay to get my shit in the paper. I see, I see how it works. I see how it works. These little eight months when I hadn't been working, I could lock in on whatever I wanted to lock in on. I see y'all's little game. Y'all are playing and so does the rest of America.
Speaker 1:And if y'all remember, back when I was doing the podcast, I told y'all why podcasting was so important. Because you can circumvent the traditional format of media, because they're controlling what we see and what we hear. Trying to, the internet is helping, uh, get the truth out or waking people up to the idea that they've been manipulated their entire lives, because that's actually what's been going on. All right, so enough on the paper. Y'all know how I feel about that situation. All right, so I couldn't get in the paper.
Speaker 1:So, granted, this was like a a week, a week and a half before the fair. So I was like I'm still, I still want to capitalize on this moment. Um, what can I do? Why? How can I? How can capitalize on this moment? What can I do? How can I get this? Because I got this piece that I feel is very respectable, I feel like it's very informed, I feel like it is Mississippi-focused, neshoba County-focused. It's important to the people of our area and it's information that is pertinent to them, to us. People should know this because the media is not reporting on it in a, in a, in a fashion that it should be reported on.
Speaker 1:So I contact the fair board because, you know, the fair is, like the uh, supposed to be the political stomping grounds of Mississippi. Well, that's bullshit too. You might ask why I say that. I'll tell you why I contact the fair board. I won't tell you who. Very influential member, and I disclosed to that person that I wanted to, that I had a speech that would last nowhere between more than three and five minutes and all I ask is just a three to five minute slot.
Speaker 1:One of the political speaking days, don't care where it is, just throw me up there, give me three to five minutes. One of the political speaking days, don't care where it is, just throw me up there, give me three to five minutes, I'll be respectful. No can do. No can do, lee Carl, we've already got it set up. We don't want the politicians to feel like they're ambushed. We don't want this. We don't want that.
Speaker 1:I said y'all don't want the motherfucking truth. C Scott Bounds don't want the motherfucking truth. Lane Taylor don't want the motherfucking truth. Tate Reeves don't want the motherfucking truth. The entire legislature don't want the motherfucking truth. The entire legislature don't want the motherfucking truth. Well, I'm here to give it to you. I'm here to give it to you straight, cut and dry. So once they wouldn't let me speak, but they would let Shawosky Young, a black former Democrat, obama aide, obama appointed aide, who is now running for Secretary of State as a Republican after running as a Democrat just two years ago. They'll let him speak, but they won't let a Neshoba County native who requests a three to five minute slot speak. That's fucking bullshit.
Speaker 1:So after being denied by the paper and by the fair board, I said well, I was going to keep it classy, but now y'all don't force me to keep it trashy, baby. So I resorted to coming on the podcast and you know I'm pissed, guys. I'm pissed, I really am. We're being censored. Our voices are being censored at every turn and they're being censored in favor of a foreign country in america. That's not who we are. That's not how we roll.
Speaker 1:It's time to wake up. Let your politicians know that they work for you, for us, and if they don't, we will not elect them again. I don't give a fuck if you're a Republican. Just because you're a Republican don't mean shit, because the Republicans and the Democrats are on the same motherfucking team and you can take that to the bank. Jack Facts, All right.
Speaker 1:So after I was rejected by the paper and the fair, I was like well, I guess I'll fire up that old podcast machine and give the people what they want, all right, machine and give the people what they want, all right. So now I'm going to read you what they wouldn't let me say or publish, and then I'll put a copy in the notes of this episode so you can go back and read it. But I just want to put it here so that all of our pussy ass politicians because I know they'll listen to this they won't respond on X, on email, on nothing, I mean. The only thing I haven't done is call their personal cell phone, and I'm not going to do that because I don't think that's right, I don't think that's getting too personal. But I have free speech and that's what America's built on is having the freedom to criticize your government, especially when they're treasonous and traitors for a Jewish nation who has taken basically over control, taken control of our government. All right. So the title of the piece is why Is it Unanimous? Lee Smith, july 2025. Here we go.
Speaker 1:During the 2025 Mississippi legislative session, the legislature passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 531. Scr 531 recognizes the creation of the Mississippi-Israel Joint Legislative Caucus, with the specifically stated goal of strengthening political, economic and cultural bonds between the state of Mississippi and the nation of Israel. Scr 531 was swiftly and unanimously ushered through both chambers with bipartisan support early in the 2025 legislative session. The Senate voted in favor by a count of 39-0, and the House voted in favor 113-0. Mind you, very few pieces of legislation pass with unanimous bipartisan support. Scr 531 was passed on February 25, 2025.
Speaker 1:By this time, it had become blatantly obvious American military aid was being used by Israeli forces to slaughter women and children in Gaza, by Israeli forces to slaughter women and children in Gaza. Hamas is responsible for killing at least 1,200 Israelis during the attack on October 7, 2023. In response, the state of Israel has killed and I kept it conservative here at least 50,000 people in Gaza. I thought that may help me get into the show of Democrats. It's really like 300 to 4,000 people. Among those killed, approximately 60% have been Palestinian women and children. Even still, forging an alliance with Israel took priority over addressing the most pressing needs of Mississippians in the 2025 legislative session.
Speaker 1:We have major socioeconomic problems that will take generations to address in Mississippi. Of the 50 poorest counties in America, 10 are in Mississippi. Mississippi has the second highest statewide poverty rate in the nation. Jackson has the highest per capita homicide rate. Mississippi depends on federal tax dollars more so than any other state in the union. 42% of Mississippi's $31 billion budget stems from federal sources, so that'd be like 12 to 13 billion of the 30 million. 65% of those federal funds are earmarked for social welfare purposes. So 65% of that 12 to 13 billion that we get from the federal government goes to welfare. So that's about $7 billion we get from the federal government that goes to welfare. It's because we're poor as fuck. That goes to welfare. It's because we're poor as fuck these statistical nightmares indicate?
Speaker 1:Mississippi should focus on strengthening herself from within. We must implement statewide school consolidation reform and adopt universal school choice. We should fully eliminate the income tax. In a more aggressive manner, we should make a concerted effort to improve Jackson and Meridian, two of our state's most cherished and historical cities. These are just a few examples of issues that are vital to improving Mississippi. Now, of course, there is a laundry list of issues Mississippians prefer the state legislature to act on, but forging an alliance with a foreign country responsible for murdering women and children is not on that list at all. The voter initiative process was invalidated in 2021 and needs to be restored immediately.
Speaker 1:No bills that would implement universal school choice were introduced in 2025. Universal school choice were introduced in 2025. Although the legislature did manage to pass a bill designed to fully eliminate the income tax, the tax on work will not be totally eliminated until 2040. That's ridiculous. Within the 90-day 2025 legislative session, our educational future, political rights nor budget could be agreed upon. But one thing was made crystal fucking clear Fucking's not in there. But one thing was made crystal clear early in the session Israel deserved unanimous, unquestionable and unwavering support from the Mississippi legislature.
Speaker 1:As Mississippi politicians gather at the Neshoba County Fair this week. Keep in mind that each of you took an oath to pursue what is in the best interest of Mississippi and America, not a foreign country. We, the people, must recognize that if we fail to hold our politicians accountable, they will continue taking advantage of our political agency to satisfy their self-interests. To satisfy their self-interests. This letter is to serve as a public condemnation of SCR 531. The people of Senate District 18 and House District 44 deserve a substantive explanation from Senator Lane Taylor and Representative C Scott Bounds outlining their support for SCR 531. Sincerely, lee Carlton Smith, neshoba County, mississippi, july 2025. Yeah, one of the worst things is. So. The point of that point of that diatribe, that piece, was to highlight that our legislature, mississippi legislature, went to the capitol to have a legislative, annual legislative session to address mississippi issues.
Speaker 1:Jackson, mississippi I live in Jackson Mississippi right now. It has dirty water. It has dirty water, it has fucking homeless people. It has, I mean, boarded up stores on Capitol Street. Go look at a video, look up on YouTube there's a video of 1958, jackson, mississippi on Capitol Street and then take a ride down Capitol Street 2025. It's two different worlds. One looks like England, one looks like Africa, and I'm not talking about the people, I mean the buildings, just the environment. It's maddening, it really is. It's maddening, it really is. It's maddening that our politicians that we elect go to Jackson and they unanimously agree to forge an alliance with a murderous nation. Before addressing the plight in our own state capital, in our own state, in our own fucking country.
